I was thinking I was wasting my time on the R forum, at least one person said something...and positive too!

That's a great looking R! The pano roof provides great contrast, and the Sports package wheels provides the finishing touches to a great looking car. I guess we R owners are really in a world of our own, as I find the R to be good looking CUV, especially considering it's alternatives/competition. Hard to believe it's been out for nearly 7 yrs, as it still looks contemporary. I guess it helps that there aren't that many around.

Everywhere it is parked, even pulling up somewhere with the new LEDs in the front it is a very noticeable vehicle. It sells well in our neck of the woods too.

It does! I remember commenting on your thread, I think white is the best colour for the refreshed R . Ahh, the unexpected blessings that come our way...I have three kids 10 and under. The R is unquestionably the family car but my older two kkds, 8 and 10, I bring everywhere in my C63. That thing goes through a tank in 200miles!

I like the wheels - I asked one of the local Mercedes dealers if they would clear my brakes, but he claimed to have no offset information.

@Ludicrous Speed if you can get someone to pull of their rim or have the dealer look at one in the showroom maybe they can help you. I'm fairly certain the stock 20s are ET60 which isn't aggressive at all.

BTW are you thinking about selling your stock rims?

I think they should...they would look awesome on your car.

No sir - if I get a set of aftermarket shoes, I'll need some winter wheels, right?
